Edition of 300 copies, includes a download of the album, out on Smalltown Supersound.
Produced by Lasse Marhaug, mastered by Helge Sten, the fantastic artwork was done by Joke Leonare & Pedro Ramos.
“Lasse Marhaug is one of those characters that operates at the nexus of so much stuff that’s important to us here – working as a producer (over the last couple of years alone he’s helped shape albums by Jenny Hval, Kelly Lee Owens, Okkyung Lee, Hillary Woods etc etc), a mastering engineer, a prolific sleeve designer, publisher and, perhaps most importantly – a recording artist in his own right. ‘Context’ is his most substantial release in years – a crushing assembly of bone-dry/darkside drone/machine malfunctions that’s bursting with a visceral, throbbing, mass of feeling. If yr into anything on the spectrum from Mika Vainio to Grouper to Kevin Drumm or Deathprod – this one’s as good as it gets. (…)
We’ve no idea where Marhaug might go next, but until then “Context” is a fucking dream.” Boomkat.com
